Corona Ranch was a wonderful place for our reception! Samantha (Sam) was a joy to work with and she made everything come together so easily. At the reception, she and her staff were amazing and were on top of everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went so smoothly and was so much fun! I'm very thankful to Sam and her staff. The price was great, the venue rustic and fun, and the views were beautiful! I'd definitely recommend Corona Ranch!

The Corona Ranch was so great to work with, flexible, knowledgeable and such a lovely site. It's also great for those on a budget. We saved so much booking here but did not lack in any quality features other expensive sites offer. People kept asking me how I found this site and were amazed at the scenery and location. The outside speaks for itself with picturesque mountains and ruins and the inside is rustic enough to not need many decorations. So happy with our decision to get married here. Everything went smoothly and we even got back our full deposit super quick! Thank you Corona Ranch for helping in making our special day that much more special!

I can't say how great Sammy and her team are! The venue is beautiful and Sammy did an amazing job helping us plan the wedding, finding the best vendors and took excellent care of us and our guests! There was nothing I had to worry about whatsoever on my wedding day! I absolutely recommend this place!

Working with Samantha at Corona Ranch was great! She was laid back, but knowledgable. My husband and I tried to plan the wedding (timing, organization of ceremony, etc) ourselves; it turned out to be a lot more complicated than we had anticipated. We are so thankful that Samantha was totally willing to guide us and keep things on track. She was at the rehersal and at the wedding. She was really great!!! It was the perfect location. We could not have picked a better place with better people. I am glad we went with a locally owned Tucson place. Our out-of-town guests loved the view and the ruins.

This venue was perfect for us. We loved the ranch style setting. Being able to bring your own alcohol is such a plus. Thanks Corona Ranch for making our wedding perfect!

Samantha was an amazing help, especially when planning our wedding from across the country (we live in DC, but are from the Tucson area). She was always quick to respond and offered help with anything we needed! The venue is beautiful as well! We definitely had a great experience with Corona Ranch and couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day!

Corona Ranch Tucson is a great venue for any type of event that you may have in mind! We got married there, and we were absolutely delighted! The pictures turned out beautifully. The landscape was immaculate, and we couln't have expected more out of the staff. Samantha, the venue owner, is very efficient and a great resource for outside vendors! I have never planned anything very big; since she helpled us we got everything squared away from the caterer to the florist in about 2 weeks! I really do think her venue was the best value; everything is all-inclusive, which helped my fiance and I tremendously! There were no strings attatched, and Samantha has no problem reccommending the best bang for your buck! Thank you CORONA RANCH TUCSON!!!!!!

Our wedding day could not have gone better! The venue showcased Tucson beautifully in the foothills of the Catalinas, getting married under a mesquite tree.
The vendors that contract with Corona were wonderful. Annette Hartman makes amazing food and is a sweetheart and came through flawlessly. Muse Entertainment's Andrew Wagner created a great dance party.
Throughout the entire process of working with Corona, they were prompt in replying to emails and working to create our vision.
What really sold us on Corona was that they provided a great ceremony location, caterer, dj, tables and linens, and drink service for a WONDERFUL PRICE. The venue did enough to ease the burden of choosing all the different vendors (narrowing it to two or three) but didn't overstep where they took over your vision (decorations, photographer, bring your own alcohol).
They also didn't hold us to exact times on rehearsal and time to get into the venue, which allowed us the flexibility of running late on occasion. NOT A NICKEL AND DIME PLACE!
We could not have been happier! I feel like our day went perfect!

My daughter and her now-husband had an absolutely perfect wedding at Corona Ranch. The grounds and patio were beautiful and well maintained, and the ranch house was rustic and accommodating for our dinner and dancing that followed. Samm, Corona Ranch's wedding planner, owner, manager....was professional and flexible to work with and honored all of our requests. She provided useful advice when asked and was always prompt in responding to our many emails. The Corona Ranch staff did an outstanding job the day and evening of the wedding, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests, many of whom said it was the best wedding they have been to in a long time. We would recommend Corona Ranch for anyone who wants to have a fun and memorable wedding.

We had our wedding at Corona Ranch on March 31, 2012 and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Samantha was wonderful to work with. She was very accommodating with what we wanted to do with the facility, was always willing to give advice, and was very helpful the day of the wedding. Her staff was hard working and made the event flow nicely. We loved the grass area for the ceremony as well as the patio area for appetizers and a place for guests to gather during pictures and after dinner. I would highly recommend Corona Ranch.

The absolute best value for the price. Not only is the DJ and caterer included in the price, but they have a wealth of other vendors that regularly work with them--all of which are excellent and affordable. The venue itself is set in the Catalina mountains, making for a stunning ceremony backdrop and fabulous pictures.
We got married during wedding season and changed our venue late in the game. Despite the last minute scheduling and busy time of year, Sammy made me feel like I was the ONLY wedding they were working on. The bartenders were great at keeping our guests happy, and even participated in some of the dancing and craziness later in the evening. Even when we were running ahead of schedule by almost an hour (unheard of as far as weddings go), everyone was on their game and made our day run smoother than I could have imagined.

Samantha was very accomodating and helpful. We loved our ceremony and thought the venue was just right for what we had in mind. The only criticism I have was there was not enough food for everyone and when Karl wanted seconds there was none. The groom should be entitled to seconds.

Thank you for your review! I will let the caterer know about your feedback as well! We enjoyed being part of your wedding!

The venue location is Beautiful! I think this venue is a Great Value! Especially since you can bring in your own alcohol! Samantha Varnum was easy to reach by phone and email and responded quickley. I was very happy with the service and my wedding the only two things I would say are I wish they gave you more time to decorate the venue (even if they charged the option would be nice) and they are not handicap accessable, if they would purchase mobile ramps to have on hand that would be great! I had a hard time finding ramps to rent and I still couldnt find enough. I think that would be an excellent thing for them to offer clients. But overall I had a really great experience, a Beautiful wedding, and If I had it to do all over again I would still book my wedding there. Great Value, Good Service, Beautiful Venue! If you are looking to have a wedding that really embodies the relaxed casual nature of the southwest this is the place to go! I would highly recomend this venue!

Corona Ranch is AWESOME! The new owner Samantha and Event Planner Lucy are great!!!
When I first visited the ranch several months ago I dealt with Kerry who said he was the owner which he is NOT! Kerry is rude, unprofessional, unorganized and a dis-service to the wedding and event industry!
I was so happy when I visited the ranch again a few weeks ago for their Bridal Fair. I was able to meet some amazing vendors, won a fun door prize (Shabang Hair) and had an incredible time meeting with Samantha and Lucy. Lucy gave me so many great ideas for my wedding with-out “breaking the bank” and was so willing to work with us and our budget. I am so excited to have my event at Corona Ranch and know that everything that is promised to me will be there on the day of my wedding. The Ranch is looking so beautiful and I cannot wait to see it in a few months. Thanks ladies, you are awesome!!!

I recently had my ceremony and reception at the Corona Ranch Tucson. The event was everything I had hoped for an more. The grounds are gorgeous, the reception hall was beautiful and their recently restored bar was gorgeous and the price of the venue is resonable.This review is NOT based on the grounds but the interaction I had with the supposed “owner” Kerry Kruckmier. Based on my interactions with him during the 2 years I planned my wedding, I will never use the Corona Ranch again while he is working there. He made my experience miserable. He was difficult to deal with up towards the end of the 2 years. I tried to ask him questions regarding totals due for my event, items we could and couldn’t have on their grounds, set up time for the day of the wedding, wait staff, etc and I got the run around from him. He always mentioned that there was going to be a meeting that he would discuss all this information in and that meeting didn’t happen but 2 FLIPPING WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING!!! I had a 100 guest wedding to plan and I wasn’t going to WAIT until the last flipping minute to figure out what I could and couldn’t do for MY WEDDING! Plus at one time during the planning, Kerry said I could set up in the reception hall the night before so I didn’t have to RUSH the day of my wedding to set up and he later said he did NOT give me permission when my Husband was there when he said I could! Another gripe I had with dealing with Kerry is he was extremely RUDE to my Mother on the phone the morning after my wedding!! He yelled at her on the phone because our rental items weren’t in a rental room on the grounds when the bar staff said we could leave them where they were until the next morning! I would NOT RECOMMEND using the Corona Ranch because of the dealings I had with Kerry Kruckmier! He is NOT professional at all but down right rude at times!

I want to sincerely apologize for things that never should have happened. Kerry Kruckmeyer is no longer associated with Corona Ranch Tucson. Also, Kerry Kruckmeyer does not and never has owned Corona Ranch Tucson. Corona Ranch Tucson has been owned by the same family for 25 years and we have taken over management of the ranch in order to improving guest relations. I apologize again! We are looking to a bright future! If there is any thing we can do for you, please give me a call! ~Samantha Varnum, Manager- Corona Ranch Tucson

I was married at Corona Ranch, Tucson so marrying couples there is very sentimental for me. I have performed two weddings at Corona Ranch and always love the experience!
I have photographed several events at Corona Ranch Tucson as well as gotten married there myself. The grounds are always in excellent condition. I highly recommend you check out Corona Ranch Tucson for your event!!!
For a truely unique venue with a gorgeous atmosphere for your guests....Corona Ranch is a wonderful option! It has the most amazing fireplace in the reception room! But my favorite elements on the property are the oversized fountain and the original ranch ruins for photo opps! Great prices for an all-inclusive package too. Worth taking a tour any time of the year.
